(PRESS RELEASE FROM THE COLLEGE OF CHIROPRACTORS FOLLOWING THE PATIENT PARTNERSHIP QUALITY MARK AWARDS)

Dr Marc Martineau of the Exmouth Chiropractic Clinic and Family Chiropractic clinic, Exeter was awarded the ‘Patient Partnership Quality Mark’ (PPQM) last week by The College of Chiropractors.

The PPQM award was launched in 2006 by the College of Chiropractors to recognise excellence in meeting the expectations patients have about their chiropractic care.

Dr Martineau said:

“Chiropractors provide safe and effective treatment, and we are proud to say that the award of the Patient Partnership Quality Mark recognises this clinic’s commitment to meeting and exceeding patients’ expectations of their treatment environment and care. We constantly strive to improve our level of service and always welcome feedback from patients.”

About The College of ChiropractorsThe College of Chiropractors is an academic membership organisation with over 2200 members and the following objectives:

· to promote the art, science and practice of chiropractic;· to improve and maintain standards in the practice of chiropractic for the benefit of the public;· to promote awareness and understanding of chiropractic amongst medical practitioners and other healthcare professionals and the public;· to educate and train practitioners in the art, science and practice of chiropractic;· to advance the study of and research in chiropractic.

Members and Fellows of the College have always embraced postgraduate training and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in the public interest, pre-empting any statutory requirement.
